By partnering with leading esports competitions like League of Origin, we look forward to bringing the best of esports live video and conversation together on Twitter.”
Riot Games’ Head of Esports Oceania, Daniel Ringland, also stated…
“Twitter is one of the most engaging platforms for fans of the OPL and OCS esports leagues, so it made sense to team up for League of Origin. The live stream on Twitter will be a shortcut for fans in Oceania and around the world, as they can both watch and engage on the platform at the same time.”
League of Origin will feature players from Victoria, New Zealand, New South Wales, and Queensland.
